The cookbook Salads – All the Year ‘Round was created by the Women’s Institute Branch and the Home Economics Service and was published by the Ontario Department of Agriculture in April 1949 in Toronto, Ontario. It was written for women, as they were often confined to the home at this time and considered the homemakers, and promoted the idea of healthy eating, claiming that a salad could make a meal complete! The cookbook’s opening pages discusses techniques and preparation methods used when making a salad and it goes into fairly detailed descriptions of the way these methods should be conducted. Salads – All the Year ‘Round not only includes recipes for salads, but also provides recipes for salad dressings and various salad accompaniments (e.g., croutons) and garnishes (e.g., cheese balls) as well! The salad recipes include “Salad Greens”, “Tomato Salads”, baked bean salads and cottage cheese salads, “Salad Accompaniments”, “Fruit Salads”, and “Salad Garnishes”. Throughout the cookbook there are small images, such as a young woman in an apron and chef hat with a magic fairy wand in hand and little illustrations of salads. The images do not necessarily provide anything more to the recipes or provide further instruction, but add some glam, if you will, to the book itself. Salads – All the Year ‘Round is a fairly small paper book, with dimensions of only 9inX6in and contains 18 pages, including its front and back covers. For being such a small book, it holds considerable information and is extremely effective.
